Individual's notes: The following info was returned at a search of Dominion Land Grants a the Canadian Archive site (www.archives.ca) 4 LS 12 2 52 5 W3 Section Township Range Meridian Reference: Liber: 1026 Folio: 202 File reel number: C-6763 Names: William ThomasJaggers Source: Source 1. Source page: Page 149-150 Walter(sic, should be William) Thomas Jaggers My father, Henry Venerables Jaggers was born in Cork, South Ireland. Mymother, Lillian Turner, was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire. I, Bill and my brothers Harry, Sidney, and Emest were born in Barking, England. My sisters, Mavis and Dora, were born on the homestead eleven miles north of Canwood. Dad served in the First World War. His regiment was slaughtered but he was able to escape by crossing the Rhine River into Holland. He was listed as missing for three years. I had to quit school as Mother, Harry and I had to find work to support the family. There were no government allowances then. When peace was declared dad returned home. In March 1919 we sold everything we had in England and sailed for Canada. As immigrants we had to work for awhile to get some farming experience. We went to the Hiram Walker in Windsor, Ontario. I drove my first horse there - a big old Clyde horse pulling a manure cart. After a few months Dad decided he would like a place of his own, so the family bundled up and set across country by train. Our destination was Courtenay. However, we never made Courtenay. My dad met Percy Goulding a tRegina Station, who changed the course of our lives. He persuaded my dad he should go to 'God's Country' the vast tracts of land Northwest of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan, near Canwood. I'll never forget that journey. It was March, 1920. We had a dray teamdriven by Johnny Reid, pulling a sleigh. We went over frozen ground, over stumps, swamp land and eventually arrived at the homestead S.E. and S.W.quarters 1-52-5-W3. All we had was a tent. We drove the tent pegs into the frozen ground. We had no stove or cooking equipment. We just had to make do. Mother - she was so proud, so courageous - cried all night. In the morning a crowd of people broke from the bush, they had axes, shovels and hot food. In one day they cut the logs and put up a house for us. They even brought a stove. How thankful we were. When spring came, it really was God's country. In every pot hole, every lake, there were fish. Round every tree there was game. Our family farmed for thirteen years. We had many good times as well as bad. The depression saw prices for cattle drop to two cents a pound, pigs couldn't be given away and horses were going for thirty dollars. As a young boy, I was a good amateur boxer. I fought under the name of Paddy Ryan. I fought in many places in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. My young brothers and sister used to ride horseback, sleigh and buggy to the Nestle down School. There was one real good friend who used to come quite often. We would find him sleeping in the barn when we went to do the chores. Mother used to make him take a bath in an old wash tub. She would let him wear dad's clothes while she washed his. He was known as Rabbit Foot Bill. I followed our family to Duncan in 1934 and settled on Lake Cowichan Road. Dad and I both served in the Second World War. Dad developed cancer so he came home and he passed away in 1940. I was wounded in 1942 and spent one and a half years in hospital. I was discharged in 1946 from the army. I went back to work in lumber mills in Duncan, bought twenty-five acres of raw timber land, sold timber, farmed until my retirement when I made a career in Dahlia flowers. In 1936, I married Margery, a Duncan girl. We have two sons Michael and Andrew and two daughters Elizabeth and Susan. My brother Harry married Ann Dunning and they have three children. Sidney married Gwen Ralston. They have one daughter. Sidney's wife died in 1976. Ernest is married and has three children. Mavis, my sister, married an air force pilot and had two children. She passed away in Calgary in May,1975. My other sister, Dora, has five children all living around Victoria.
